“Don’t speak – go out and fight, then you will see,” Blatter told reporters Saturday at his annual charity football tournament. “People, they say I should not be a candidate or I should not be elected – they can take the risk to be in the election.”

I hope he put a cap on backwards and posed with his arms crossed upon completion of that quote.

FIFA’s presidential election will go down in 2015, with UEFA boss Michael Platini amongst those expected to make a run at the seat. Blatter had previously said he would step down in 2015, and it’s not something Platini and others are willing to let him forget as they beg for change atop FIFA.

Yet Blatter is expected to put his name in the mixer again:

“Now I say (to) other people, if they want to take the risk, then take the risk,” Blatter said. “That is good. And I am happy to fight. But if you take the risk you also have the chance to lose.”

Tell me true: Did you read those Blatter quotes and hear them as, “Don’t you know how much money I have access to? You know about the bribes, right? Are you not entertained?”
